Honey Pitas
My in-laws make some killer pitas. Here is their recipe.
You need parchment paper so that you can roll your Pita bread on it, and you'll need a pizza/pastry rolling pin so that you can roll out.
In Bosch bowl, using the dough hook, add:
2 cups warm water
1 Tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoon yeast
Mix thoroughly. Add more flour if needed the mixture should clean the sides of the bowl. Knead until smooth and elastic, from 7 to 10 minutes. Divide into 24 pieces for small balls the size of a golf ball or 12 pieces for larger balls. Roll into 1/4" to 1/8" thick circles on a floured surface. I use a piece of parchment paper then I sprinkle a little flour on the paper. (Any creases in the dough will cause the pita to stick together and not form a pocket.) Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. Bake at 500 degrees on a preheated pizza stone for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully. Remove from oven when pita puffs up and is slightly golden. Place in bag to soften and flatten.
Chicken Italian Soup
This soup is amazing. Very hearty and full of flavor. It is adapted from Pioneer Woman's site.
Items you will need: 1-16 ounce package of salad noodles, 1-2 chicken breasts with bone in. Olive oil, celery, onion, green pepper, 3 tomato's, flaked oregano, salt, pepper. 1 pint of whipping cream.
Take 4 Tablespoons of flaked oregano and saute it on the stove with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.
Saute for about one minute then set aside. If you don't have flaked oregano you can use powdered oregano, but only use 2 Tablespoons instead of 4.
Take one breast of chicken that has bone in an skin. Put this in your pressure cooker with 1 Tablespoon of chicken bullion. You need the delicious flavor that this will produce. Put it in your electric pressure cooker for 20 minutes on High pressure.
Next chop 4 stalks of celery, 1 green pepper, 1 medium onion. Saute with a little olive oil for a few seconds (You do not want these cooked, they will cook when they are put in your pressure cooker with other ingredients.)
Remove chicken and shred. Take drippings from chicken and strain. Add chicken and your dripping to your pressure cooker along with your onions, celery, and green pepper that you sauted. Add 16 ounces of salad noodles. Cover the noodles with water(About 1 quart). Add 1 Tablespoon of chicken bullion to 1 cup water and add. Add 1/2 teaspoon of real salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Cook in your pressure cooker on low pressure for 2 minutes. Then add one pint of whipping cream, and 3 chopped tomato's and your oregano that you have set aside. Mix through and let heat for an additional minute on saute setting. Enjoy!
